- Today, Bon Appétit spends the day with Nonna Maria, one of the resident grandma chefs at Enoteca Maria on Staten Island. At 90 years old, Maria has been cooking Italian food longer than most bringing a lifetime of experience and flavor to her dishes. “Enoteca Maria is a place where we invite grandmothers from all over the world in to cook their traditional dishes. Nonna Maria has been working here for about 10 years now, and she lights up the place as soon as she walks in the door. She’s 90 years old and runs around like she’s 16.”

What a bright and beautiful personality she has
she looks amazing for 90
Its 2020 not 1980 anymore !
How lucky must her family be. Two whole generations of eating like royalty.
Both of my grandmothers, may they rest in peace, were amazing cooks. I miss them both. *Le nonne sono fantastiche*
Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer. Page 64 😇
I think the next generation of grandmother's will not live up to the same standards
Wow. 90! Most people never even reach that age. It’s her beautiful pure soul that kept her out of negativity and living a long healthy life! So precious!
More are living past 90 in recent years than ever ! You must be 30 wear boat shoes with no socks and think your ffeet dont stink !
“You don’t measure?” - never been around an Italian grandma I reckon.
She is so adorable but yet such an inspiration, she doesn't 'have' passion, she IS passion! How can I become one of her adopted kids haha Loved this video so much!
her personality will live on forever
The "Give me a q-tip" line made me chuckle. So wholesome.
More grandmas, please!! Food looks amazing and she is wonderful
I, too, am Maria when I take my first sip of coffee in the morning. This vid was a feast! ☕️
What a great segment I can feel her love through her food.
8:41 And this is why i naturally gravitated to Italian cuisine when I had to learn how to cook for myself. Hasn't failed me yet!
What a great lady. All italian grandmother's chop vegetables with those little knives. They don't believe in cutting boards. Lol. Love it
She has a beautiful spirit and personality.
I can't even express how much I loved this segment and adored Nonna Maria!
She's has a lovely personality.
Nonna Maria is pure joy❤bless her 🥰
Why choose to be negative when you can be like Nonna Maria?
We should all try to be like Nonna Maria. Make food to see people smile and be happy :)
This is the epitome of doing what you love! Bless her heart! ❤❤

OMG! That stuff calamari, and the nonna that made it!!!
Very chill, one of the homies ❤
Loved seeing the boxed pasta!😂
bedda signora sei una stella!
That stuff calamari gives me memories of my uncle dom who made it the same way
Thanks
I love her little ‘okays?’ after every sentence
What a beautiful woman ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So cue grandma.
I want to be adopted by this Nonna Maria.
Seriously.
I was born in New York City myself. Manhattan actually. 🥰❤️
It tastes like you have an authentic Italian Nonna in the back. 🤔🍽️🤣🤣
I like how she just shows up to her part time job with a mission in mind and at no point discussed it with anyone.
Do customers just order Nonna's Dinner? Since it's what SHE decides that day?😂
Shes so Adorable
that squid dish Ohhh My Goooodnessssss......
gotta be the best food in town
I miss my grandma. She’s not here anymore 😢
